The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) is pleased to announce the graduation of Firefighters Nelson DiVall and Andrew Kontz from the Yavapai College Paramedic Program, Class 15. Both firefighters have successfully attained paramedic certification through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT).
While all CAFMA firefighters already possess certification as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), the pursuit of paramedic certification signifies a heightened level of expertise. It is noteworthy that every CAFMA fire engine is staffed with a minimum of one paramedic, and several engines have two or more.
CAFMA is excited to share that eight additional firefighters are currently enrolled in the Yavapai College Paramedic Program, further strengthening the organization’s capabilities.
